Many medical doctors don't like to mention the intervention of God when it involves the survival of one of their patients. I heard it for the first time when Darlene, my wife, went to see her heart specialist for a follow-up appointment.

Both heart doctors greet her each and every time by saying, "There's the Miracle Lady."

During the 18 days in the hospital waiting for the right time to place a defibrillator near Darlene's heart to keep it from stopping, Darlene's heart quit five different times.

The first time her heart stopped, it came back on its own. The second time, the nurses came to get me, as they thought she was deceased. Our pastor, Victor Kubik, came in and gave a quick prayer, and amazingly her heart started beating.

The doctors immediately transferred Darlene to a hospital where they had the necessary equipment to take care of her.

During the next few days, Darlene's heart stopped three more times. She was on a ventilator for a short time with no hope of placing a defibrillator in her, when one of the heart specialists decided that a higher being was watching over Darlene, and that it would be OK to take the chance.

The doctors and the hospital staff were amazed to see Darlene leave the hospital on her own initiative. Darlene still has a weak heart muscle, but God made sure that she still has life.

Thank you doctors, thank you Mr. Kubik and, most of all, thank you God.
